Scopes (Monkey Trial) Simulator by thedaian

[raw]
made by thedaian for LD24 (COMPO)
This is a (very simple) strategy game I made in about 12 hours. Unfortunately, there wasn't as much polish or testing as I would have liked, and I'm not entirely sure if the game is winnable except by extreme luck. The game is coded entirely in Javascript, HTML, and CSS, and makes heavy use of the AngularJS: http://www.angularjs.org/ library.

* Edit: The game is fairly winnable if you focus on one or two states, you just need more states that are blue than the opponent. The "play again" buttons are sadly broken, so just refresh the game or hit the "reset game" button. Nothing will be changed from this version until the voting is over.

I would like to think that the various actions have different results based on the mentality of the people in each state, however I found it to be mostly random.

Weird game. Very hard to figure out the relationships between the actions as there is little indication of what values each state has. Political simulator is an original genre though ^^

I appreciate the different take on the theme. I figured somebody would do something like this. I'm not sure the game was all that much fun though. I think it could be better if there were more hints about what might work in different states.
